Nothing. It is part of the experience to learn how to adjust/adapt oneself to new situations in life, new city, new uni, new friends, new culture, new life-style..

Good organisation between all the departments. Great activities for everybody, especially for exchange students. Trips to know the most interesting places in the UK, to know the nightlife in Swansea, to know each single corner of the campus/uni..Lots of societies. Very useful career center.

I didn't know that the flat was completely empty: I would have brought at least a fork and a knife.

As an exchange student I admit that life in swansea was great, but pay attention to the expensive life in UK. The most expensive things are probably tha accomodation and the means of transport: if you want for instance to take a train you'd better book it in advance to get a lower fare (Unfortunately it is impossible to buy train tickets from Italy, quite unfair cause from other European countries it is possible - e.g. Germany-).

academic requirements are not too high in comparisan to austrian and german standards. however, you'll have a lot of fun. furthermore, you'll learn to know a completely different university system.

That for me it was a great experience and all students should undertake an experience in a foreign country to know something more about different way of thinking

Sometimes costs were really expansive but I think that a part from this the erasmus period is something unforgettable...I mean is like a sweet dream as long as the period you stay abroad..It's really bed when you come back and you discover that everything is done and you can't go back...

I was familiar with the British culture , but I did not know the gastronomy there was so bad compared to the Spanish one. I wish I had known things were so expensive there.

Things are quite expensive if you come from Spain, but do not think too much about it. Try and have a good time and visit as much places as you can, if the weather permits you to do so. Take with you a good umbrella.
